@niiwa I don't get why you complain about the leaks but yet you do listen to them no?
Regarding the leaks @ Yahoo! Japan, it was part of the promotion, an intentional leak. It has nothing to do with this leak here.

Don't dramatise everything, all songs will leak around the 26 anyway, now or in 10 days won't change anything, it might even help promote this awesome album.. You never know, I happened to know a lot of artists I support now thanks to early leaks. And I'm probably not the only one.

I don't personally care coz I won't spoil myself for now, I'll just wait for at least for a decent quality leak before my copy arrive. Previews are enough for me when it's about Meisa, I would buy everything from her anyway..

Of course I'm listening, I can't help it. But, in other hand, we have to think about the ones who worked for this album.
The Yahoo! Japan were a intentional leak, I know, but it was a bad step.

I'm not dramatising anything, I'm just afraid for her sales, you know?

^ I know, but don't you think it makes no difference in the end? I mean, it's surely going to leak, it won't stop people from downloading it instead of buying it.
Early leaks also help, looking at Mika Nakashima's ORION, which leaked like 2 months before the actual release, the single still had pretty good sales (about 60k)

I just wouldn't say it's necessarily a bad thing that stuffs leak early.

Her sales will probably be around Hellcat's sales, maybe more depending on how they choose to promote it. Or maybe less if the promotion is inexistant.

Hmm, maybe. The promotions also help even with the leak. Anyway, I guess she'll sell around 20k and 30k based on her promotions via HEY! HEY! HEY! Music Champ and the many magazines and online interviews. lol

i can understand why meisa & her staff would be upset with the leaks, but...it happens, lol. it's not like any of us here actually leaked the songs in the first place. we're just listening to them. it just can't be helped.

anyway, gonna listen to the songs now! even though i got SWITCH in my head right now.
xD

it's your choice if you want to listen to the leaked out songs or not . Nobody said that it's a must to do that

like what Picaflor 7/4 said , it's good in the sense that it gives you a better opinion/judgement on whether you decide if you want to buy MAGAZINE or not down the line & also the bad part's obviously that it wouldn't be officially released until 2 Wed's later but this's already making its rounds all over the net

Which side you're on ? it's not for me to say/decide but that's what I feel at the end of the day

YesAsia's description of MAGAZINE

After making a stunning musical debut with 2009's Hellcat, actress-pop star Kuroki Meisa is ready to release her second full-length album. Despite having a successful acting career, Meisa is also able to put in the effort to create fun R&B-dance songs for her fans. In addition to the hit singles Unmei, LOL!, and 5-Five-, Magazine also offers ten other brand-new songs.

ahaha yeah , I consider MAGAZINE as her 1st full length debut album & not her 2nd :p

for hellcat & ATTITUDE , those are mini albums since there're less than 10 songs in each record but MAGAZINE has 14 songs so yeah

hellcat is officially an "album" as confirmed by her company. Yes, it feels like a mini-album and only has 8 tracks, but that's what her company says and so that's why ATTITUDE is confirmed as her second. Deal with it, I guess.

I'm pretty sure this is been discussed already and the last time it was confirmed hellcat IS a mini-album.

I guess you deal with it?

and I don't know what the company said because I haven't seen that info anywhere.

flumpool also has this going on with their Unreal & What's flumpool ?! CDs but for me , I consider something as an album if an album has more than 10 tracks

both hellcat & ATTITUDE have 8 & 9 tracks respectively . That's why I view/consider tham as EPs & not LPs

then again people will say that I'm in the wrong for viewing hellcat as not her 1st official album but I don't care about it lol , it's my opinion at the end of the day :p

I honestly don't care either. I just read it on J-Pop Stop! but whatever. Doesn't matter, like KarenPang said.

well it matters because then it affects things like chart positions and stuff :/

like what if all of Ayu's singles that were 8 tracks were considered albums? How many consecutive album number ones would she have then lol

but if you dont care about stuff like that...then meh. In any case, number of tracks never determines what something is...I have a full length album from another artist that is only 4 tracks...so...


anyway...I heard that like 6 songs were out or something...but is the full album out? dont think i've seen it...maybe i missed it...
